> That's interesting. Abilify is much more potent than Zyprexa at binding to the D2 receptor. Perhaps there was a supersensitivity thing going on there. Unlike Zyprexa, Abilify also binds to the D3 receptor. Any withdrawal effects coming from this would probably not be counteracted by Zyprexa.I thought Zyprexa binds to D1-D4.
